This webinar series hosted by The Oceanography Society will present important information, tips, and tricks—what we wish someone had told us when we were starting out on our professional journeys. Go to the webinar series page to watch the first webinar of the series: Tips for Networking and Maximizing the Conference Experience.
This compelling webinar series was designed to demystify the “hidden curriculum” in marine science—important information that is crucial for career development, but rarely taught in the classroom. The live webinar series is complete but you can watch recorded webinars and find useful resources on the webinar series page.
Scientists from across the globe gather at the flagship ocean sciences conference to share the latest research findings, collaborate on solutions, and make lasting partnerships with the goal of advancing scientific knowledge and impacts.
Ocean Optics is the leading international conference on the optics of inland, coastal, and ocean waters. This event brings together the diverse ocean optics community united by a shared passion for optics in aquatic environments.
